I used to have a friend called Penny Lane, you know like the Beatles' song. Mr and Mrs Lane must have had a really strange sense of humour or maybe they just weren't A22 ... fans of the Beatles - anyway their daughter Penny was always being made fun of. Kids can be so cruel. One day she must have got sick of it because she suddenly announced she would A23... a trip to Penny Lane. That got us all laughing - Penny Lane in Penny Lane! - so we decided to go too and make her dream come true. I'd never been to Liverpool before and I was quite excited myself. Anyway, we went by coach to Liverpool, playing word games to A24... time on the boring journey. It was obviously Penny's lucky day because she won every time. When we arrived, we got a taxi from the station. Penny had a real thrill A25... the taxi driver to go to Penny Lane. The driver didn't seem surprised at all to go there - I guess he does this journey pretty often. It wasn't a long way and, suddenly, we had arrived. The taxi pulled A26... next to a street sign proudly announcing Penny Lane. There was no way we were going to miss this golden A27 ... Of course, we had to take a photo of Penny and we weren't the only ones as there were lots of tourists doing the same. Then, completely spontaneously, we all started singing Penny Lane. A28 ... a day! Penny, and the rest of us, will always remember it. A22 1) great 2) large 3) strong 4) major
